Looking at the ES5 [[Put]], ownDesc is a data descriptor here, so we land in step 3b, which calls [[DefineOwnProperty]], which is defined at http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#named-properties-object-defineownpropertyand throws if "Throw" and silently does nothing otherwise.  ES6 is similar.

Ah, good point.  Firefox, Safari, Chrome all currently all allow this, but seems reasonable to prohibit.
